Three young women, Sebaga Seloi 11, Katlo Ratau 14 and Lona Baipoledi 15 are set to represent the county at the Princess of the World International Pageant in Bulgaria next month.

The three were selected to represent the country after they emerged as the top finalists in the local pageant, Princess of the World, which was held last year December. Seloi was the queen, Baipoledi was the first princess and Ratau was the second princess.

The models are under the mentorship of Tebogo Lebanna the Princess of the World Botswana pageant director and former Miss Petite One Mariri.
